Revolutionary AI Implants Enable Stroke Victim to Speak Again After 20 Years
TL;DR
Researchers at the University of California have successfully implanted electrode implants into the brain of a stroke victim, enabling her to regain her ability to speak after 18 years. Using artificial intelligence, the team trained an algorithm to detect her brain signals and translate them into sentences, creating an avatar with a voice personalized to her pre-stroke sound. Despite some errors in word selection, the breakthrough offers hope for rehabilitation and highlights the potential of AI in healthcare.
